ooh, here is a video on mapping RFID fields in everyday technology. It's interesting to be able to see this field for the first time, although it'd also be cool to see different ways to visualise and map it. The people in the video are Timo Arnall of the Touch project and Jack Schulze of BERG.
I once made blueprints for a kaleidoscope that would be about 30cm squared, on a tripod or A-frame structure. It'd be operated with a winding handle and the images would be projected onto a wall. This wall would also have sensors on it, so when coloured light would hit different parts, pre-recorded soundscapes would play. There would be a different sound for a different colour, and it's play/distortion would be altered according to the speed the kaleidoscope would be played.
I think that I thought about this because I was particularly obsessed with participation, play for the sake of play, immersive installations and such. In fact, I probably still am now that I think about it.
We Are Chopchop if a collective or artists in Berlin. Their site exhibits animations, installations, design projects and media art. To my knowledge, they all work on their own projects and help each other out, rather than the whole collective working on each project.
How wonderful! These are emily Fischer's soft maps. They're quilts, pillows and cushions with maps of places and scapes embroidered onto them. You can get them custom made (machine made), but I think that some are hand made. I've been thinking about having a spring sewing group lately and this is enough to put some thread into my needle.
Pandamonium involves a collection of British artists reworking the WWF panda. Included are Tracy Emin, Sir Peter Blake, Rachel Whiteread and others. I like the Troika panda with is laaaaser cub.
p.s Who would have thought that Blake was into wrestling?
ah! this is still my favourite dance from the friday dance group. It's particularly best to watch it in the morning with breakfast before the day crunches.
